 My name is Micha Sefri. I'm the president and co-founder of Civic Hall and also the co-founder and co-curator of Personal Democracy Forum. So there's a reason why so many people of good will are attracted to this sector and whether it's techies or it's community organizers or it's people coming from the public sector, there's this collection point around this concept of civic tech or tech used for the public good, which feels to me like it has greater potential for success in a moment where we need to figure out how to move faster than seems possible at addressing really serious global level crises. So that's why I'm here. I think that tech itself is at an inflection point. There was an assumption until recently, perhaps naive, that it was inherently a good force or inherently a democratizing force. And I think now it's very clear that what many people have been saying for a long time is that all it is is a way of accelerating and amplifying. It isn't necessarily good or bad. It's really in how humans decide to use it, how humans decide to design it, and that we better check our assumptions and look more carefully at the claims being made for the beneficial effects of tech because it seems as though it's been either hijacked or it's being used far more effectively for negative outcomes today than people ever thought was possible.
